Teddy Bear’s previous owner surrendered him to another shelter for reportedly having a “seizure”. We have seen no signs of seizure activity and veterinarians remind us that often seizures are the result of ingesting something toxic in the home. Nevertheless, we want to share all we know, including the possibility that he may have epilepsy and another seizure (or seizures) in his life. Fortunately, anti-seizure medication is generally highly effective and inexpensive. Please share Teddy Bear's picture and help find him a hero.  He debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
